The Andovcr controversy between the Con-

trustees OF the college have resigned on account
OF the Universalistic tendencies Of the faculty,

denounclng the now ideas. Their successors

Elmer Fosburg will be tried at Jamestown
before Judge Francis during tho present term
OF court for the killing Of Frank Finnio last
fall. Finnic was experimenting grading
contract on the Manitoba extension, about
thirty miles west of Mlnnewaukan, and Fos-
burg was employed by him. It was said that
the murder was unprovoked, and the murderer
under the influences Of liquor when the decd

Several OF our exchanges are earnestly .d-
vocatiug the passage OF a law in the present
legislature authorizing the publication of chat
tel mortgage sales as is now tho case In real
estate mortgages, and the idea seems to bs
meeting universal favor. As the law now is
and the course now pursued in chattel fore
closure, but littls notice, II any, is really given
that such sale Is to take place. Not one out
OF twenty-five reads the posted notices 20 com-
mon, while II they were correctly published in
newspapers Of general circulation nearly ey
eryone would read them. Tho consequence
would be that such sales would be attended by
those who generaly buy such property for
speculation. Tho cost of such advertisement
would be small compared to tho benefits that
would 10 obtained by it.
Aud another bit Of legislation would not be
amiss. The courts have already decided that
newspaper publishing legal notices must be
OF general circulation, and 1t would be no more
than justice to all, that publisher should be
responsible for the correct publication of all
such matter. A bond given ly the publisher
OF each paper wishing to publish legal notices,
to tho amount Of from $500 10 $1,000 accord
ing to each papers general circulation, filed
in the proper Office Of each county throughout
the Territory, would 1t sesms, have the desired
effect. This would insure the correct publica-
ton Of notices, and at the same time give each
paper healthy conpetition, as tho publishers
would naturally become those Of good stand
Ing, and not those mot good enough for any
thing else but will do for publisher. -. Shell
